To-Do List for New Machines

• Network Registration: Go to Net Registration at http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~help/admin/netregister.html and fill out network registration so your machine can be assigned an IP address and hostname. This is necessary to obtain a network connection. Optional fields are marked as such.
• Software Installation: Fill out PC Software Install form athttp://www.cs.cmu.edu/~help/forms/pcsoftinst.html. This assigns a tech in SCS Computing Facilites to pick up your computer/laptop from the receiving area and install the OS and apps. If requested, it will add the machine to the domain and prepare it for backups. Do not pick up your machine from receiving if you intend to have SCS install things for you. They will deliver it to you, or notify you when work is completed (in the case of a laptop).
• Message from Helpdesk: In order to ensure that we can provide complete service for your machine, your cooperation is vital in informing SCS Computing Facilities of any subsequent changes in location or status of your machine including: retiring, damage claiming, and decommissioning. This will enable SCS Computing Facilities to properly record and track your particular asset with timely notifications to Property Management and to the SCS Computing Facilities Costing group.
• If you need help in filling out these forms or if you have any questions regarding the receipt of your new asset, please contact the SCS Computing Facilities Help Desk at x8-4231 or send mail to help@cs.cmu.edu.
